New Thread "The future"

My piloting is 4hrs , Auster, age 16, 1975 - so that is clear... Bitten, hooked, but physically disqualified to join your ranks. So here are my unbiased thoughts on

What does it matter who was PF?

I suppose some people are hoping to say, 'an inexperienced pilot made a mistake', so we can all sleep easy. Very tidy, sorry I don't buy it. Three qualified pilots were on duty and it still happened....

If it's too late to get out then you better assume you are not in!

So , anyone else care to suggest a number, because it has a bearing on crew actions. Some people are saying "how come they did not catch on in over 3 mins", well perhaps they did, lets just say you...

How much height would you need to fix it?

PNF took over at 2:13:32 + 15seconds, i.e. 41 seconds before the end and perhaps between 7000-7500 feet.
Even if you did all the right things, when is the latest you can act?
How would that differ...

A sleepy PNF is better than none I assume?

Rather than worrying about the state of the PNF, if we are going to read things literally then 'THE PILOT woke the Co-Pilot', not "had him woken" so it is a good job this did not all happen at 1:55am...

Genghis,
"these chaps were experienced and current pilots unlikely to make such an elementary error. "

Only one of them made the mistake, the other two did not know what he was doing. PF used up...

How about moving stick, throttles and trim wheel?
